102 members in less than a few hours. Incredible. It's very nice to see so many people who are so excited about the prospect of this website. I'd like to clear up a few things however, just so that we're all clear on things.
1. This blog is very low-tech. You have to understand that I conceived and created the website on October 20th, 2008. Aka, yesterday morning after acting class. so some of your questions are unanswerable at this current juncture, but i promise I will work very hard to answer all your questions. Feel free to e-mail the site, but i can't guarantee that you will receive the answer you're looking for.
2. Let's talk about copyright protection. As for copyrights, I don't have any clue about anything in that realm. So far, this site is just a place where me and some fellow admins will be picking our favorite selections and posting them up for the world to see. We will give all credit to people who want to be given credit, and i can 100% guarantee that your work will never be tampered with by me or any other admin. As for other people stealing your work, if you don't feel safe losing it, don't send it to us. that's just for now though. I'm going to be looking more into these issues, because I am imagining this to be bigger than i originally conceived. As for now, this place is a fun place to be ourselves. Don't give me the novel you want to publish later, because chances are it could get stolen.
3. Here is my plan as of now:
All week we will collect submissions and log them on my computer and in the e-mail account. On Friday, at approx. 10 AM, the pieces that were chosen by the group of admins for that week will go up. If this becomes boring or static, we will do two a week. If we don't get enough submissions, we might skip a week. It's kind of all up in the air right now. the best way to keep this site exciting is to constantly be working to get new art onto the site, be it writing like a maniac or taking 100 pictures a day. As of now, however, on friday at 10 AM, the submissions from this week will be posted. As for your personal photos, feel free to post them on the photo section of the facebook group, but if you want them to be considered for the actual site, you MUST e-mail wellfedprinciples@yahoo.co
Also, If your submission doesn't make it one week, that doesn't mean we hate it or that we aren't considering it. It just might mean that we will save it for another week. We'll try to incorporate themes or contests if the vibe gets to be lame.
If you have any suggestions, feel free to e-mail us, again, at wellfedprinciples@yahoo.co
I'm so happy guys. Lets make this the best it can be. That's going to take a lot of work but I promise that this will be a fun, respectful place for us on the internet.
Don't forget to tell your friends! invite them to the facebook group so that they too can join all of you "feeders"
Tired and Done for the Day,

Also, if anyone knew Spencer Barnett and has any pictures or poems or anything about him that they would like to have submitted, I will make those pieces first priority for Friday's post. Spencer's death was untimely, and I would like to commemorate it in some way, and i think this would be a nice memorial to him
